I was searching for an extra curricular activity for my son to really help him with focus, self discipline and self confidence. I have found that at Cosens. They have made us feel very welcome from the moment we entered their doors. And they work so well with all the children.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Apr 2024

Cosens Martial Arts in Fenton is one of the best places to start your little ones out in martial arts training. Coach Tilley is amazing and teaches these kids lessons in great ways. He has so much patience and it’s also very fun to watch the little ninjas learn these skills. Our family highly recommends!!!!!!

★★★★★ — Michelle, Feb 2024

Took my 13 y/o daughter in to check it out. She's recently become interested in fitness and self defense. After meeting Coach Tilly and having a chat with him, she decided that this was the class she wanted. We both started and it's been great.

New to BJJ? Start at Cosens Martial Arts Fenton, LLC

Cosens Martial Arts Fenton, LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at Cosens Martial Arts Fenton, LLC

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
